They aim to empower First Nations to control their health through unified efforts, while respecting traditional knowledge and providing education and training. Their mission is to assist Manitoba First Nations in achieving and maintaining total well-being by implementing effective programs, protecting indigenous values, and supporting research that informs decision-making.
